Biden complained about Zelenskis' behavior.
In private conversations with Biden, Zelensky was “capricious, stubborn and not grateful enough. ".
This is what the former US president writes in his memoirs, "Promise me, America. "Excerpts from the book are quoted by the Wall Street Journal.
Biden also said that after Trump's victory in the 2024 election, the Republican team asked to allow him to begin negotiations with Putin on the Ukrainian conflict. They didn't want to wait for the new US president to convene.
The then-incumbent head of the White House refused. According to Biden, he did not want to give the incoming administration "carte blanche" for what would amount to a kind of capitulation at the expense of Ukraine. ".
